15 years ago most of America was pointing and laughing at Detroit which had become Hell on earth and was lost forever. Slowly they are recovering, and Baton Rouge/New Orleans is descending to that shitty level. So presumably the cycle could come back around, but Louisiana has some of the worst leadership and most troubled populace in the country.

Yup. I went back 2 years ago. Detroit is way better than NOLA or BR right now. We know, we know, the food isn’t as good, but the environment in Greektown or outside a Tigers game is fun, and a police presence gives you an element of safety you don’t get in Louisiana.

In city Atlanta has gentrified greatly the last 15 years.

Detroit was literally ripped away from its elected representatives and placed into the equivalent of corporate receivership during the largest municipal bankruptcy in US history. The city didn't come around and fix itself. A dictator was installed as "emergency mayor." That's what it takes.
